Cases and Materials on Modern Antitrust Law and Its Origins

Cases are organized over four periods: a 25-year period from 1890 to 1914 in which most of today's issues were foreshadowed; a second 25-year period from 1915 to 1939 in which the "rule of reason" forced courts to investigate the actual consequences of business practices; a 35-year period from 1940 to 1975 in which the per se rule and industry concentration provided the predominant models for analysis; and the "modern period," now itself almost 35 years long. All Supreme Court cases since the Third Edition came out in 2005 are included, as well as recent major merger cases. The book provides professors with whatever materials they will need to help students understand and evaluate moves the Obama Administration may make in the antitrust field.

Cazurile sunt organizate pe patru perioade: o perioada de 25 de ani, din 1890 pana in 1914, in care majoritatea numerelor de astazi au fost prefigurate; a doua perioada de 25 de ani, din 1915 pana in 1939, in care „regula ratiunii” a obligat instantele sa investigheze consecintele reale ale practicilor comerciale; o perioada de 35 de ani, din 1940 pana in 1975, in care regula in sine si concentrarea industriei au furnizat modelele predominante pentru analiza; si „perioada moderna”, acum in sine de aproape 35 de ani.
